HateAid and the European Union of Jewish Students are suing Twitter for failing to enforce antisemitic content, specifically Holocaust denial.
The suit is being brought in Germany, where Holocaust denial is a crime with strict consequences.
- The suit claims that social media platforms like Twitter do not review 84% of antisemitic posts. The lawsuit claims that Twitter knows Jews are being attacked but does not do anything about it.
- The suit uses examples from the last three months since Elon Musk purchased the site.
- The reduction of staff in Europe (including Germany) and the disbandment of the Trust and Safety Council at the company are used as evidence against Twitter in the lawsuit.
